Slain IPOB Members : Corpses Found Inside Bush. by Nobody: 3:46pm On Nov 05, 2017 |
— 5th November 2017
From: OKEY SAMPSON, Aba
the Indigenous People of Biafra
(IPOB) has declared 21 days
mourning for its members killed
during the military invasion of the
home of its leader, Nnamdi Kanu at
Afara Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State.
This is even as the Biafra agitation
group says it has discovered more
corpses of her slain members in a
bush within the precincts of the
home of its leader.
The group equally informed that it
is burying the slain members,
numbering more than over 28
who were killed during the
invasion, in piecemeal with 11 of
such bodies already interred.
A senior member of the group,
Mark Eze Ofuonye, who disclosed
how some of their members were
shot dead by the invading soldiers,
and their corpses dumped in a
bush near the home of the IPOB
leader, said: “Some of our
members, numbering over 28,
were murdered in cold blood by
the military during the invasion of
our leader’s home at Afara Ukwu.
The soldiers were doing a sort of
mop up operation; whenever they
killed any of our members, they
carried away the corpse to conceal
their horrendous act but it was not
possible.
“So, they filled up their trucks with
our members’ corpses. The
corpses we retrieved and which
we are burying at present are
those the soldiers could not carry.
They just came out with the
intention of killing any human
being or living thing that was
found in the compound of our
leader. The people they met were
not armed still they shot them,
even people just standing nearby
and those passing through the
area were caught in the attack.”
Continuing, Ofuonye said: “The
corpses we are burying now
(referring to the day of the
interview) were found inside the
bush. They were shot by soldiers
and they ran into the bush with
bullet wounds thinking that they
could receive help there but no
help came their way and they died
inside the bush. Some of the dead
bodies were discovered last week
inside the bush at the back of
Nnamdi Kanu’s house. The 28 were
those ones that were killed within
the axis of the house of our leader.
But the total number killed within
this range is 305 persons.”
The IPOB chieftain who said there
was no need for the operation by
the Nigerian army as members of
the group did not carry arms
neither were they violent, added
that the leadership of the group
declared the 21-day mourning for
their slain members.
Disclosing that those killed were
from the Eastern heartland,
Ofuonye said that in addition to
burying the dead, the group is also
treating the injured and taking
care of the imprisoned ones.
“We lost very vibrant and lovely
youths who were just peacefully
asking for their rights, but the
Nigerian government chose to use
brute force on them. Some of our
members, who were forced to
drink poisoned water, have been
defecating blood and we are also
treating them. About 76 of our
members were dumped in Aba
prisons under the most inhuman
condition and many of them are ill.
A lot of things are being done
against our members, but the most
beautiful thing about all these
things is that the horrible
experience we are passing
through is giving us strength. The
spirit has risen, the enthusiasm
has come because when you look
back and see you’ve lost a lovely
one, a colleague, going back
becomes a very big problem; you
can’t go so that it will not look as
betrayal. As I speak, we are
establishing more zones and new
members are coming in, we are
winning the war of battle of hearts
and minds,” he assured.
He said the 21-days of mourning
began October 26. He was
emphatic that the struggle would
continue, stating: “Because in any
struggle, people die, but the only
painful aspect of it is that we lost
young boys, youths who had
bright future. In the civilized world,
you don’t touch people like that, no
matter what they did, at worst you
take them to court; but we have
drawn strength from their death
and we are not going back.”
He advised the United Nations to
send its representatives to the
home of their leader at Afara Ukwu
to be able to see how soldiers
invaded the house of a core civilian
with heavy armoury and none of
the soldiers sustained any scratch
which he said was an indication
that despite the propaganda
mounted by the Nigerian army, the
IPOB members were not armed.

What Im hoping for is that when IPOB successfully lifts its proscription as a terrorist organisation in the Nigerian courts, IPOB legal team should swing into action bring court suits against the Federal Govt, the Nigerian Army and the Nigerian Police force for: 1) Illegal military invasion 2) Unlawful killings 3) Illegal detention and torture 4) Excessive use of force I want the IPOB legal team to approach the Nigerian court, the ECOWAS court and the ICC. It should be noted that those who have been killed cannot be brought back, however, a guilty verdict against the authorities will go a long way to bringing justice to dead. Any monetary award that comes from such court case should be used to rehabilitate the family of those who have lost loved ones, those who were injured or maimed and those who have been illegally detained. 2 Likes |
